Embedding a Flash SWF in a Page – Autoformat breaks code.

    Hello,

    It’s been a while since I was working with WordPress and Flash, and I’ve run into something that may have an easier fix in this latest version. (3.5.1) When I drop the HTML code to embed (actually object, I know) a Flash SWF, the WordPress editor changes some of the HTML.

    For example, instead of:

    <!--[if !IE]>-->

    WordPress publishes:

    <!--[if !IE]>–>

    I wrapped the HTML in the <code> tags and that seems to have fixed it, but from what I’ve read about the <code> tags, that’s not really what they are intended to do. In the past I’ve used the RAW plugin to preserve HTML. Is there a native way in WordPress to preserve HTML as written, or is a plugin still required?

    Thanks!

    Thanks mods!

    Actually, the WordPress software is re-writing the ‘if IE’ tags to look like this:

    <!--[if !IE]& # 8122 ;> except without the spaces

    Is there a native way to prevent that?
